zella 50,534 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Pann: Is there a road shop that you don't like? (road shops = drugstore cosmetic brands) 1. [+198, -24] Etude is good cosmetics. Their ingredients are all approved by Amore Pacific. The reason why the CEO of Amore Pacific made Etude is because he wanted to give a cute and lovely makeup brand to his little daughter as a gift. Hera and Sulhwasoo are also made by Amore Pacific. It's a pity that Etude has a negative image because of the package designs. 2. [+143, -8] Nature Republic ã…‹ã…‹ I never use any of their product 3. [+136, -22] Etude. Especially their skin products ruin my skin. 4. [+71, -2] Skin Food. In the past, they promoted their brand with "We don't do discounts because our prices don't have bubbles." But now they're doing discounts, what the hell. 5. [+53, -5] I don't know about others but Innisfree's name sounds likeable. The name sounds natural, green, and fresh. The ads are also refreshing. 6. [+39, -2] The Face Shop... I don't know why but I don't like them. 7. [+34, -0] Tony Moly. It feels like cheap stuff. 8. [+33, -0] Everybody hates Etude. I like Etude because I love princess vibes... 9. [+30, -0] Serial discounter Nature Republic 10. [+29, -6] Innisfree cosplays as environmentally friendly when their ingredients are garbage ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakurahanabira 6,634 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Where is the lie though? But how are green tea, soybean, seaweed, and other natural ingredients "garbage"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SugaJam 3,634 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 But how are green tea, soybean, seaweed, and other natural ingredients "garbage"? Because there is nothing "natural" about their product. At best they are just like every other brands out there. A bunch of silicones, synthetic emulsifiers and adjuster, with minimal amount of extract and almost no substantial amount of active. Their ingredients are as garbage as the stuff they put down. Im not saying they are bad, but they never deliver what they claimed, which is "natural". And wtf is "natural" anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fentyoncé 2,548 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 So, what brands are actually good? I'm usually a no-makeup person but I really want to start looking...decent but I break out kinda easily with stress and my face gets oily *_* I DON'T KNOW MAN (and I'm poor so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like their skincare products, though. They feel good on my skin and have given me decent results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel good on my skin and have given me decent results. Natural has no meaning in cosmetic labelling. Any brand can claim themselves to be "natural". There is no guideline, and no real legal barrier to claim that on the product. I'm not saying Innisfree is bad, but it's not "natural". It is just like every other cosmetic brand out there. But people have the misconception that non-natural labelled brand are made by "chemical-filled" ingredients or garbage. And ironically a natural line like Innisfree is made up of the same "garbage" ingredients as all the others non-natural line. Just saying/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iljinspirit 414 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 For cosmetics I just use western brands but for skincare it's impossible.. they mess my skin up really badly (aside from Sukin it's alright but it doesn't really do much for me either) :/ So I got some stuff from the stores in the city like The Face Shop etc and my skin has been great ever since. I don't mind the criticism that I'm using Korean branded things, after all my foundation comes from the UK, my eyeliner/mascara comes from the US. I think it's ironic that people make such a big deal out of it. Different things work for different people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0YA 1,256 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Tony Moly. I use their luminous aura cc cream and my skin became gray and dry. No. Etude House is below average, I'm sure people mostly buy for the cute packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
